Is Valentine (2001) an Underrated Slasher or Early 2000's Trash? - Video

It's Valentine's Day and what better way to tell someone you love them by scarring them for life at a 6th grade dance so that they grow up to be David Boreanaz with a bloody nose and make it their mission to murder you with hallmark greeting cards while wearing a cupid mask.

This week, we are talking about Valentine from 2001. One of the last major slashers of the early 2000's that was playing off the coat tails of Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Urban Legend. Valentine, (directed by Jamie Blanks of Urban Legend fame) tells the story of Paige, Dorthy, Lilly, and Kate who are stalked by a mysterious masked killer mask who could very well be a a specter from their past (sound a bit familiar).

Starring Denise Richards, Marley Shelton, Jessica Cauffiel, Jessica Capshaw, Katherine Heigl, and David Boreanaz (at the height of his Angel/Buffy fame) this movie failed to land back in 2001 but does this movie truly suck or is it simply an underrated slasher way ahead of it's time?
